Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type String. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384936(v=vs.111) or https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb383977(v=vs.111).
Remarks
For more information about how to use this method, see the AsDecimal() topic. If you think that your code might be passed null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), an empty string (""), a value outside of the numeric range of the specified type, or a string value that cannot be converted to the specified type, you can use the AsDecimal overload to return a specified Decimal value instead of 0.
